摘要: The craniofacial morphology of 31 male patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and 37 healthy subjects were compared using cephalometric evaluation lateral skull radiographs. aim was to evaluate which variables related discriminate between OSAS non-OSAS subjects. Sixteen measurements determined study the morphology. Differences in two groups analysed unpaired Student t-tests (significance level 0.05). A multiple regression analysis used joint predictive value selected variables. With regard five variables, significant differences observed (P < Data indicated a relatively anterior position maxilla, an increase mid-facial height more inferiorly located hyoid bone patient group. yielded model discriminating subjects, included one intermaxillary relationship. causal relationship is not sufficiently supported by our data. Presumably, discrimination
